A graduated sensor indicated response to increased motion levels during equitation was observed in a patient in whom a motion‐detecting pacemaker was implanted. Programmable parameters affecting sensor function were preset according to the sensor response observed during the patient's own slow and fast walk. These parameters were generally appropriate for the variety of gaits the horse used while the patient was on horseback.
